“The upcoming referendum is not simply a gay rights issue, or a civil rights issue, but one of basic human rights,” says Irish musician Hozier in a recently released video.
On May 22, Irish citizens will be able to vote on the gay marriage referendum, and Hozier strongly encourages citizens to vote “yes,” allowing for gay marriage in Ireland. This is not the first time Hozier has voiced his opinion the subject. Last September, Hozier critiqued oppressive institutions through his music video for “Take Me To Church,” which depicts two men, their love, and violence against them. Check out the videos below of Hozier explaining why the gay marriage referendum is important and the “Take Me To Church” music video.
Hozier is playing at the SB Bowl on October 18. We are looking forward to a night with Hozier, not only a phenomenal artist, but one who is fighting to make a difference in the world.
